PEN-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent NO. 425,583, dated April 15, 1890.

Application filed August 17, 1889. Serial No. 321,170,l (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, STEFAN AUGUST ScHoLz, a Subj ect of the Emperor of Germany, residin at Tschirnau, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and useful Pen-Holder, of

dangers attendant on the extraction of pens from the holders hitherto employed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis the front View of the pen-holder; Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical and longitudinal sections, and Fig. a is a side view of the pen-holder.

The improved pen-holderessentially eonsists of a cylindric body or core A, contained in a tube C, extending from its rear extremity to an arched cavity or saddle c., provided on its fore end for receiving the pen. From said saddle a. projects a pin a', rounded at the top and held up by the action of a suitable spring a2, lodged in a corresponding cavity diametri@- ally provided in the core A of the holder. The front part of the core A is inclosed in a small tube B,telescopically movable Within the main tube C, and held in position by aid of a spiral spring b, surrounding a thinner or cylindricallyrecessed portion of the core A. By shifting the small tube B into the main tube C the pen-saddle a is laid open, and after placing the pen in its position and depressing therewith the projecting pin a the small tube B is allowed to be propelled by the spiral spring h and to cover the inner portion of the pen,

which, with the assistance of the upward tendency of the depressed pin d', is thus secured in the holder; or thepen may be introduced in the usual manner, thereby depressing the pin d sufficiently to hold the pen in position.

To remove the pen from the holder the small tube B is merely shifted back, thus causing the pen to be expelled by the action ot' the elastic pin a.
